Car was just crazy man, its sad to see her go but I think we know you'll do something really nice with the next lex....so you were already modding your next lex without even having the car yet, that a true modder..LOL can't wait to see what you decided on. Are you coming over to the dark side..LOL

This is extremley hard for me......lot's of hard work and money was out into it.

I do have other plans in mind, and sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do

I do have a brand new injen intake and brand new Apexi exauhst never installed.
please check es classifieds on monday if intresteted.

GATO, i seriously wish you would have called me. you could have found a good home for her in the arms of another CL member, right here. I have always loved your car since the day i laid eyes on it. I would have given you asking price in a heartbeat had i known it was up for sale, that is the ONLY ES i would take over an LS. Period.

I will never forget the phone call:

me: "hello?"

GATO: "Josh man, its Giovanni, hey do you know anything about coilovers??...I need HELP!"

LOL, the rest, as they say, is history

Wow, I did't expect this much love............thanks for all the replies

blulex, the car was crazy...and I loved it. I think I'm still in denial that she is relly gone
as far as coming over to the dark side..........................we'll see ... i guess u say that cuz you seen me lurkin in your neck of the woods for the last 4 months, huh?

1SICKLEX, thanks bro, yeah repped the best that I could with what I had 2 work with

D2-AUTOSPORT, thanks man. I think so too, it was simple but effective. and yeah, i'm happy I found someone that saw value in the hard work and money that was put on that vehicle

Lexusfreak, I didn't even realize it.......but I just did the math on all that I did to the car.........not might seem much to some...........but it was quite a bit of money

juan01, we'll keep in touch bro. yeah it's a horrible feeling.

TheRupp, thanks man, that means alot....I'll keep you guys posted, definitley

magneto112, I too am very anxious to get started on this next project

tmf2004, thanks man......yeah being COTM that month was quite an honor, and it did'nt have much of the mods it did now ......

thank you everyone else............
